Department of Planning and Environment
We exist to make people’s lives better by making NSW a great place to live and work
We help to provide homes and services, build great communities, create jobs and protect the environment.
We do this by:
- creating plans for the future of regions and local areas
- revitalising urban areas
- providing land for new homes, services and open space
- assessing important projects to ensure the need for new jobs is balanced with the needs of the community and environment
- developing policies that guide planning activity for government and local government across NSW.
